The xMEMS XMC-1200 cooling platform has been engineered by the brand with the requirements of the smart technology market in mind to work well within a variety of product categories. The micro fan measures in at 46mm² to accommodate placement in very tight parameters including in smart glasses, augmented reality (AR) eyewear and more where heat dissipation is required but difficult to achieve. The micro fan draws 70mW of power and is rated to reduce temperatures by up to 10-degrees Celsius at a 1W thermal load, which would work particularly well in the face of advanced tech solutions, especially those with artificial intelligence (AI) features.
The xMEMS XMC-1200 cooling platform is projected to be production-ready by Q4 2027.

What Makes This Trend Stand Out
- Micro Cooling Systems
- Ultra-compact thermal components create room for thinner, lighter wearable devices that still support high-performance computing features.
- AI-enabled Wearables
- Rising on-device intelligence in smart glasses and AR hardware increases demand for specialized heat management that preserves comfort and battery life.
- Low-power Thermal Design
- Efficient cooling platforms that operate on minimal energy expand the feasibility of always-on sensors, displays and processors in compact electronics.
Sectors Adopting This
- Wearable Technology
- Smart glasses, health trackers and connected accessories benefit from miniature cooling architectures that enable more powerful functionality in space-constrained formats.
- Augmented Reality
- AR device makers face growing thermal challenges as immersive displays, cameras and AI processing require discreet cooling without compromising ergonomics.
- Consumer Electronics
- Compact laptops, earbuds and mobile devices gain new design possibilities as microtechnology cooling supports performance gains in increasingly small product footprints.
